Can't enable safari extensions

I am on the latest version of MacOS and Safari and I am unable to click the checkmark to enable Safari extensions. However, I am able to click disable on an extension. Any ideas?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Yes. Quit any apps that put overlays on screen, such as F.lux or any other apps that augment system wide display. That, or restart in Safe Mode (with shift down) and make your changes in the Safari Preferences.

Just updated to 10.15.6 and now the reason for this issue is given by Apple... (Safari detected an app or service interfering with clicking.) I tried closing every app and safe mode and tried with other extensions and all the suggestions that I could find on the Net and nothing is helping may case... Oh Well...

But that’s not this problem. This is an issue with activating Extensions that had until this point release worked just fine. They still show up in the Extensions list in Safari, and if they were active then they will remain active. But the check mark won’t stick if the extension is newly installed or de-activated for whatever reason.
